Unique AdaptAir and aluminium grease filters are enhanced with a special polyurethane foam that eliminates up to 98% of all grease particles and other impurities. At the same time, the hood maintains its absorption efficiency.

AdaptTech

Automatic fan operation

A special sensor, when in automatic operating mode, senses the level of impurities or steam, humidity and gasses and responds
suitably. It automatically adjusts the fan speed accordingly or, when it is no longer needed, even completely stops the fan.

TouchFree coating

Shiny and fingerprint-free finish

All stainless steel surfaces are coated with a special TouchFree film that prevents fingerprint markings, leaving the surface always shiny and making cleaning much easier.

Timer and refresh

Always fresh and punctual

Special advantages of new Gorenje hoods include setting the timing for automatic switching off and the refresh function which is activated every hour, refreshing the air for 10 minutes.

Re-circulating hoods

Re-circulating hoods draw in steam and odour saturated air through a filter, then returning the treated air into the kitchen. If ducting for extraction is not possible, then recirculation may be another option. In this case, the air is drawn through a charcoal filter that removes cooking odours and steam, and the clean air is recirculated back into the kitchen. Cooker hoods for recirculation are easy to install and are normally used in blocks of flats where installing ducts leading directly to the outside of the building can be difficult. Extraction hoods draw in cooking fumes and trap vapours in a filter while expelling odours to the outside through a ventilation duct. You can expect to have to change the charcoal filter once or twice a year, depending on how often the cooker hood is used.

Noise level

More power with less noise

In today’s homes, the kitchen is a new focal point, which in turn has focused attention on noise levels produced by cooker hoods. Over the last few years, the capacity of hoods has increased significantly, and sound-absorbing materials are increasingly being used in many of Gorenje cooker hoods.

• Remember to switch the cooker hood on before starting to cook, as this maximises the hood’s capacity.
• Leave the cooker hood running for another 15 minutes once you have finished cooking to remove the last few traces of cooking odours.
• Remember never to open the kitchen window when using a cooker hood, as this affects air circulation and cancels out the low pressure.
• Choose a cooker hood that is at least as wide as your hob to achieve the best effect.

Which capacity do you need?

What sort of capacity should a new cooker hood have? Capacity depends largely on the size of the kitchen. A good rule of thumb is that the hood should be able to replace the air 10 to 20 times an hour. For instance, if a kitchen measures 4 x 4 m with a ceiling height of 2.5 m, the cooker hood should replace approximately 400- 800 m3 per hour.

There will always be some loss of pressure when installing a hood. That is why it is important to observe the following rules:

• Always observe the hood’s recommended venting diameter (O) specified on the venting tube or pipe.
• Where possible, use smooth pipes to minimise air resistance.
• Try to make the installation as short as possible and with as few bends in the pipes as possible.
• You want gentle curves in the pipe rather than sharp bends, so that the air can pass through unhindered, minimising pressure loss.

The necessary extraction capacity is determined by the volume of the kitchen. The volume of the kitchen space can be calculated as follows: width x height x depth. Calculation of the power of the hood needed: volume of the kitchen x 10.
